Exploring the Stories of the Islands and the Freedoms of Third Age

Roof Top View

The view from my roof terrace isn’t especially photogenic – at least with the lenses I have, but it does give you an idea of the result of yesterday’s rains on the mountain tops. It’s normal for there to be snow on El Teide at this time of year, but not so usual for there to be so much snow on the surrounding peaks. Frustratingly, the roads are closed this morning, so I won’t be rushing up there to get a closer view. Apparently they are just sheets of ice, which must seem weird to those of you who live where winter snow and sleet are normal, but in this sub-tropical climate I guess there isn’t the equipment to cope with this volume of the white and frozen stuff!

Currently we are back on the island of Tenerife to sort out a couple of health issues (hers and mine), and we hope to be on the road again before too long. In the meantime, we will be exploring Tenerife some more.

Where Am I Right Now?

For a few months at least, back in El Médano on the island of Tenerife, from whence I began my last trip. A bad knee and Trixy needing the vet brought us back. For how long? Not sure right now.
